I haven't got any data on the MSN servers and I still get connected. What
M2005 seems to be doing is going to MSN to get the latest currency exchange
rates as soon as you load M2005. No you can't turn it off, all you can do is
extend the frequency with which it connects, but you can't stop that initial
connect.

Every time I start MS Money 2005 Standard it for some reason connects
to Internet to data.moneycentral.msn.com! It is happening when I open
..MNY file from my hard drive and this file is not configured to sync
with MSN using my Passport account! I don't know what data is sent to
Microsoft, but I for sure know MS knows every time I choose to use MS
Money on my PC! and I don't like it given it hold all my financial
information. So I have 2 questions:
1. does anyone know what data is exchanged with MS servers when I use
MS Money 2005 (is it documented somewhere)?
2. Is there a way to turn this off?

thanks.
